She went out and bought a bright pink suit from a high street shop because she thought that she needed something new to wear on the telly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Claire reached home, she felt uneasy about it. \u201cHow could I know who made my suit? How could I be sure the wastewater was treated properly afterward and that the pink dye didn\u2019t pollute that community\u2019s water supply?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She took the suit back and wore something that she had in her wardrobe and from then Claire decided to never buy any fast fashion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s now been almost two years since she has bought any piece of fast fashion. After quitting her job as an editor of WM magazine in 2013, Claire moved to PR and set up her business. She also worked as a stylist then, taking her clients to high street shops to fill up their wardrobes with fast fashion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When she took the pink suit back, she not only made changes to her lifestyle but rebranded her company, from Style Me Red and to Upstyle Club. Presently, she works as a freelance journalist, an eco-stylist, and a PR consultant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an eco-stylist, Claire helps people make new outfits out of old clothes and create looks that don&#8217;t require any fast fashion. She works with people who are trying to move away from the fast-fashion habit of buying something new every time they have to go to an event or an opportunity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cObviously trying to encourage\npeople because the appetite is already there, by showing them how they can be a\npart of that circular fashion industry and they can still enjoy style and they\ncan still dress beautifully but they can do it in a way that is respectful of\nthe planet and is respectful all people who make clothes, in respectful of the\ncommunities around them, the people who make clothes,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"708\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/04\/Webp.net-resizeimage-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/04\/Webp.net-resizeimage-2.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/04\/Webp.net-resizeimage-2-275x300.jpg 275w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/04\/Webp.net-resizeimage-2-500x545.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"708\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/04\/Webp.net-resizeimage-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/04\/Webp.net-resizeimage-2.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/04\/Webp.net-resizeimage-2-275x300.jpg 275w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/04\/Webp.net-resizeimage-2-500x545.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption> &#8220;Clothes were never meant to be thrown away; they were never meant to be disposable items but they have just become that because of the way we have been as consumers appetising on over the years.&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On April 24th, 2013, an eight-storey commercial building collapsed near Dhaka, Bangladesh, killing over 1100 people and leaving more than 2400 injured. The incident changed how many people viewed fashion, and Claire was one of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen you learn something like this, you can\u2019t really unlearn it, can you?\u201d she said. After the Rana Plaza disaster, she started buying fewer pieces of fast fashion, but the ultimate changing point came with that bright pink suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Ellen MacArthur Foundation, in\n2015, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from textile production were about 1.2\nbillion tonnes of CO2 which is more than the carbon footprint of all\ninternational flights and maritime shipping combined. Not only this, the\ntextile industry mostly depends on the non-renewable sources, up to 98 million\ntonnes per year, including oil to produce synthetic fibers, chemicals to\nproduce, dye, and finished fibers, fertilizers to grow cotton. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A report by the Global Slavery Index states that an estimated 40.3 million people are trapped in modern slavery worldwide, with 71% of them being women. Fashion has been identified as one of the five key industries associated with modern slavery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe multi-million\npounds companies, people right at the top, end up getting all the money whilst\npeople who work really, really hard to create these garments and are often not\npaid or treated properly,\u201d said Claire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to her, it should not be on the people within those communities who create these clothes to make the change. It should come from higher up, from businesses and governments with regards to policies. She believes as consumers we have a massive part to affect a change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMost people you speak to, they don&#8217;t look at labels on their clothes, they don&#8217;t know what certain fabrics mean and they&#8217;re under illusions about what certain fabrics mean. I won&#8217;t say nothing has been done because things are being done. I think things are changing but it just needs to be quicker,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a consumer we need to question ourselves can we carry on what we are doing. \u201cCan you carry on buying a new dress every Saturday, can you carry on using the high street brands that make bikinis that cost a pound, if you think you can then all power to you but actually no, we can\u2019t, because the planet won\u2019t sustain it, our wallets won\u2019t sustain it,\u201d said Claire<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She considers herself a redemption story. Claire was obsessed with fast fashion. She was addicted to buying new clothes whenever an opportunity arised. But she believes that she has come to a point where she has enough clothes. According to her, the consumers have been fed this idea of the cult of the new that they have to buy new all the time and follow trends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though social media has played a part in it, it can also help things to change. She said, \u201cIf you search sustainable bloggers now, there are so many of them and you know we&#8217;ve got hashtags like proud outfit repeater, wear it again, wear it 30 times, that is going to actually have a real impact I think. Social media is going to really help this change.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"724\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/05\/How-to-identify-if-a-fashion-brand-is-sustainable_-1024x724.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56896\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/05\/How-to-identify-if-a-fashion-brand-is-sustainable_-1024x724.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/05\/How-to-identify-if-a-fashion-brand-is-sustainable_-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/05\/How-to-identify-if-a-fashion-brand-is-sustainable_-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/05\/How-to-identify-if-a-fashion-brand-is-sustainable_-1536x1086.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/05\/How-to-identify-if-a-fashion-brand-is-sustainable_-500x354.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/05\/How-to-identify-if-a-fashion-brand-is-sustainable_.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"724\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/05\/How-to-identify-if-a-fashion-brand-is-sustainable_-1024x724.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56896\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/05\/How-to-identify-if-a-fashion-brand-is-sustainable_-1024x724.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/05\/How-to-identify-if-a-fashion-brand-is-sustainable_-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/05\/How-to-identify-if-a-fashion-brand-is-sustainable_-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/05\/How-to-identify-if-a-fashion-brand-is-sustainable_-1536x1086.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/05\/How-to-identify-if-a-fashion-brand-is-sustainable_-500x354.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/05\/How-to-identify-if-a-fashion-brand-is-sustainable_.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>Claire shared her top tips to check whether a brand is sustainable. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Claire, a sustainable piece of clothing is a piece of clothing that already exists. \u201cI\u2019m not saying, let\u2019s not produce clothes but let&#8217;s do it in a way that looks at what&#8217;s going to happen to this piece of clothing afterward, you know, so encouraging sharing, swapping, mending, repairing, reusing,&#8221; she added <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This eco-stylist believes that consumers should be investing in buying clothes that can be considered as forever vintage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In December, last year, Claire hosted an event with a charity shop, T\u0177 Hafan, where she curated the looks for the party season from a lot of vintage pieces. Many people bought from the collection and then all the money went to the charity. She is planning more events after things go back to normal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Claire Rees\u2019 sustainability game is strong, and she is not backing out, she bought a dress 20 years ago, for \u00a336 which she still likes to wear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-soundcloud wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" title=\"Three tips on how to restyle your existing wardrobe by Claire Rees by Niyati Chawla\" width=\"1200\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"about:blank\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F808157095&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxwidth=1200&#038;maxheight=1000&#038;dnt=1&#038;secret_token=s-UkfCDGAVrEe\"><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"Three tips on how to restyle your existing wardrobe by Claire Rees by Niyati Chawla\" width=\"1200\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F808157095&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxwidth=1200&#038;maxheight=1000&#038;dnt=1&#038;secret_token=s-UkfCDGAVrEe\"><\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Claire Rees, an eco-stylist, a PR consultant, how is she breaking her client&#8217;s habits of buying fast fashion and restyling their old clothes? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":440,"featured_media":55334,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[213],"coauthors":[679],"class_list":["post-55284","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business-culture","tag-fashion"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
